Abstract

A method and a system for delivering a software product from a central computer to a target computer via a computer network are disclosed. In a first method step, a software product package of the software product is transmitted from the central computer to the target computer via the computer network, and, in a second method step, the software product is installed on the target computer based on a control signal sent from the central computer to the target computer via the computer network. The system comprises modules of the central computer to transmit the software product package to the target computer, to send the control signal to the target computer. The system comprises modules of the target computer to receive the software product package and to install the software product, from the software product package, based on the control signal.
